Taz vs. Bo Dallas
Bo Dallas jumps Taz before the bell to get the early advantage, but the Human Suplex Machine fights back and gains a ton of momentum. Dallas knees him in the crotch, which goes unseen by the referee, to break a head-and-arm suplex. He unties one of the top turnbuckle pads to expose the turnbuckle, which also goes unseen by the referee. He tries to whip Taz into the exposed turnbuckle, but it is reversed and Bo Dallas hits it chest first, then gets put in the Tazmission. Dallas taps out and the North American Tag Team Champion guarantees that Dallas won’t become Bret “The Hitman” Hart’s first challenger for the International Heavyweight Championship.
Official Decision: Taz wins by submission at 6:35

Iveliss Vélez vs. Charlotte Flair
This excellent back and forth contest finds both wrestlers in fine form and earning their fair share of “This is Awesome!” chants for Ivelisse’s spectacular lucha libre moves and Charlotte’s unbelievable displays of athleticism. In the end, it is Charlotte that emerges victorious when she executes the Natural Selection.
Official Decision: Charlotte Flair wins by pinfall at 8:21
*Commercial Break 2*
Christian Cage is being interviewed by SoCal Val about tonight’s Beat the Clock challenge and he complains that he has to compete for a chance to be first in line for a title shot because as a former International Heavyweight Champion he is already entitled to a title shot. Then, Cage notices a defeated Bo Dallas walking by with his head down and he makes a joke at his expense about how Dallas is Bo-leaving because didn’t BOLIEVE enough to Beat the Clock. Dallas looks up, frowns and turns it into a smile. Then, he wishes his “friend” Cage good luck in his match and tells him that he’ll win it if all he does is BOLIEVE. Dallas walks away and a moment later, after Cage resumes the interview, Dallas hits him from behind with a chair. He gives Cage a long beat down that ends with Cage receiving a piledriver onto the hood of a car! Will Captain Charisma be able to compete later tonight? Stay tuned to find out!
Jeremy Borash is standing by with Owen Hart, Lance Storm & Tyson Kidd, the trio that faced he Boston Strongmen in a Boston Street Fight in Boston, MA at WAR ON THE EAST COAST and lost thanks to the interference of the group of ex-patriots consisting of Steve Corino, Test and the Fabulous Rougeau Brothers. They seek redemption for the attack that cost them this important match. Suffering the loss in this international battle caused them to let their country down. However, they vow to never let Canada down again. They will vanquish themselves when they defeat the ex-patriots, who they claim have forgotten the where it is that they come from and don’t believe that they are sincere when they claim to want to foster greater US-Canada relations. They tell Borash that they will be in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario for The Titans of Grand Prix, next week, and say that Corino, Test and the Rougeaus better come ready for a fight.
*Commercial Break 3*
Cesaro vs. “Nature Boy” Ric Flair
This fantasy dream match between the Swiss Superman and the Dirtiest Player in the Game steals the show with excellent displays of chain wrestling, tons of suplexes, brawling inside and out of the ring and many nearfalls counted for both men. Cesaro really tested Flair’s resolve to win and made him grow very impatient. Sick Ric even lost his temper with the referee over the speed of pinfall counts, which nearly cost him the match because Cesaro was able to capitalize by executing a Very European Uppercut. However, Flair just managed to get a shoulder up to stay alive. The Nature Boy’s fortunes improved just after that as Cesaro picked him up to go for the Neutralizer and he countered it with a back body drop. As Cesaro was getting up from that, Flair chopblocked him and then applied the figure four leg lock. Cesaro didn’t tap immediately, but he couldn’t escape and was forced to give up. Flair sets the time for Christian Cage and Samoa Joe to beat, but the North American Tag Team Champion was a stubborn opponent and gave Cage and Joe over 15 minutes to Beat the Clock.
Official Decision: “Nature Boy” Ric Flair wins by submission at 15:10
*Commercial Break 4*
The AGPW Women’s Champion, “The Big Event” Trish Stratus makes her way to the ring with her shiny championship belt flung over her shoulder. She doesn’t come alone. Her long-time associate, mutual defector from the Broken City, and the gatekeeper to her throne, the amazing Awesome Kong accompanies her to the ring to stand guard while Stratus gives us a speech about how she has defeated every challenger there has been since she defeated Mildred Burke for this title 11-months ago. She lists off the names of the challengers and says that she has turned every one of them away empty handed. Then, in an effort to talk herself up some more, she makes a rare acknowledgement of the quality of her competition to say that each of her impressive victories proves that she is a better champion than Burke ever was. She notes that she is but one month away from having held the title for a full year and doesn’t believe that there is anyone who can stop her from reaching this historic benchmark. In fact, she says that there are no challengers left as she has defeated every other woman in AGPW and declares herself the conqueror of women’s professional wrestling. As she goes to walk away, Awesome Kong picks up the mic that she threw down to the mat and says quite simply, “You haven’t beaten me.”
Stratus stops dead in her tracks and then slowly turns around with a look of surprise on her face. Then, she tries to talk Kong out of the idea of wanting to face Stratus in a match and challenge her for the title, reminding her of all of the perks she has as The Big Event’s chosen gatekeeper to the throne of the conqueror of women’s professional wrestling. Kong responds by saying that she was one that did all of the conquering and that Stratus has taken all of the credit for it. Stratus tells Kong not to get a big head, which causes Kong to wrap her hands around Stratus throat and lift her high into the air. Stratus pleads her for to calm down and Kong lets her down, right before she levels her with a monstrous lariat! Kong picks up Stratus and lays her out with an Awesome Bomb! She grabs the title, raises it in the air to a thunderous response and then drops it on top of The Big Event’s lifeless body.
*Commercial Break 5*
Christian Cage vs. Tully Blanchard
Cage came to the ring with his head wrapped in bandages. He was busted open in an altercation he had with Bo Dallas earlier in the evening. This was like a target for Blanchard to go after and the Brain Buster did just that. He focused his attack on Cage’s head, at one point peeling the bandages off of his head and re-opening the fresh wounds above the Instant Classic’s hairline by ramming his head into the ring post like a battering ram. Cage did his best and put up a solid fight, even hitting a spear on Blanchard. However, he was slowed down from a weak head and the loss of blood and took forever to pin him. Eventually, Blanchard was able to collect the victory, avoiding a frog splash after Cage took way too long to climb the turnbuckle and then executing both a slingshot suplex and piledriver to win the match. Dallas and Cage are eliminated from the Beat the Clock Challenge. Blanchard’s good friend Ric Flair has the only qualifying time. But can Blanchard’s tag team partner, Arn Anderson, stop Samoa Joe from besting Flair’s time? Stay tuned to find out!
Official Decision: Tully Blanchard wins by pinfall at 11:25
*Commercial Break 6*
Jeremy Borash is standing by with Prince Nana, who introduces himself to AGPW as a very wealthy Ashanti prince from Ghana and the heir to the Ashanti throne. Noting that the Ashanti region is rich in gold and cocoa, he tells us that his family’s wealth is unmatched in Western Africa. Looking to break into the Mash-Up Wrestling universe, he tells us that this vast wealth has allowed him to make some very important business contacts and to forge some very fruitful business partnerships, which he believes will make him a major player in this business in the very near future. With that in mind, he reveals that it is he who purchased the contract of the “Bulgarian Brute” Rusev and he intends to make it to the top of the mountain on the back of this super athlete. Finally, Prince Nana predicts that he, Rusev and their business associates will make headlines as the most dominant force in Mash-Up Wrestling in 2015!
SoCal Val is standing by with the AGPW International Heavyweight Champion, Bret “The Hitman” Hart, to get his thoughts on tonight’s Beat the Clock challenge. He tells us that he thinks that Samoa Joe has what it takes to beat Ric Flair’s time, but says that regardless of whether he has to face Flair or Joe for the title, he will win that match. He’s already proven that he can defeat Flair one-on-one and he’s Machine. Simply put, Hart is the excellence of execution and the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be and that’s what will propel him to victory in over either one of them in his first title defence, which will take place at WINTER WARFARE on Sunday, February 1.
*Commercial Break 7*
Samoa Joe vs. Arn Anderson
Samoa Joe has a difficult challenge ahead of him. He faces “The Enforcer” Arn Anderson and in order for Samoa Joe to receive the first title shot against Bret “The Hitman” Hart for the International Heavyweight Championship, he will have to defeat Anderson in under 15:10. Anderson is as tough as they come and he brings a hard-hitting bareknuckle brawling style to the fight. Joe tries to defeat against all of Anderson’s offense and counter wherever he can. This keeps him in the bout and stops Anderson from running away with the match in the opening minutes. Joe waits for Anderson to make a mistake and then capitalizes. He battles back following a cross-corner whip. Anderson charges at him, but Joe grabs him and throws him down hard with a St-Joe slam. Then Joe uses a shoot fight style to keep Anderson from getting back onto his game. Joe spars and uses shoot kicks to wear Anderson down. Once he gets Anderson down, he really takes over with a pair of shoot kicks, one to the spine and the other to the chest, and then giving him a running senton bomb. Anderson makes a brief comeback, but Joe regains the advantage by countering an Irish whip and executing a Samoan drop. From there he goes into beast mode. However, when he locks on the Coquina Clutch, he has to release the hold as he sees Tully Blanchard trying to get the referee’s attention. Joe goes over and takes Blanchard out with a running big boot! However, when he turns back around, he walks right into the Double A Spinebuster! Anderson covers, but Joe gets a shoulder up at the last moment! Anderson continues to stomp a hole into Joe, but makes a mistake by going to the second rope and trying for a double axehandle smash. Joe catches him with a shoot kick to the abdomen, then he executes a CCS Enziguiri!
1…2… Ric Flair pulls the referee out of the ring and knocks him out! Now, he attacks Joe, but then Chris Jericho runs out to attack Flair to get even with him for ruining last week’s Highlight Reel. Another attempt at interference by Blanchard goes array and he nails his tag team partner with a missile dropkick. Joe sends Blanchard over the ropes with a hard running clothesline and then finishes off Anderson with the Msucle Buster! A new referee is on the scene. 1…2…3! Samoa Joe does it! He wins the match and beats Flair’s time, thus earning himself a shot at the International Heavyweight Championship at WINTER WARFARE against Bret “The Hitman” Hart.
Official Decision: Samoa Joe wins by pinfall at 13:43
